I am so so so sorry that it took me so long to upload this chapter. I was a little bit stuck with the story and didn't know how to continue.
This is Chapter 9... I hope you'll enjoy it!!!
I own nothing but my ideas
Previously: "Too late... it's already happening". He said while Edward jumped through the window. His black eyes focusing on James while he walked closer.
"Edward". James greeted him with a devil smile.
Edward looked at me first. He looked at me and his eyes turned a soft honey again when he saw that I was alright.
"What's wrong, Edward?" James said with a teasing voice.
Edward still didn't answer but walked imminent to James.
"Stay away from her". Edward growled.
"Or else what? It's not like I'm going to kill her". James was taunting Edward. I looked at Edward and our eyes locked. I saw the confusion written on his beautiful face.
"You're not?" He asked, turning his head slightly to James again but never leaving my eyes.
"No… I leave that job to you". He said with a smile, his eyes shining with excitement.
Edward suddenly looked at James in shock. "I would never-". But Edward cut of his sentence when realization hit him. He looked at the knife in James hand and then to my bare arm.
"No!" He screamed while James took the knife and cut my arm open. I screamed out in pain while the blood was dripping on the floor. My blood. I tried my hardest not to faint when I smelt the salt and rust. I was bleeding so much that my arm was starting to feel numb. I looked at James, his eyes were black with thirst but he remained calm. A small smile was playing on his lips and suddenly I knew why. Edward was in pain. His eyes were closed, his fist were bald to his side and he wasn't breathing.
"Come on, Eddie... Let it go. Don't you want a taste of this delicious warm fresh blood? You're a newborn. Don't try to resist it". James said with a wide grin on his face, showing his very sharp, white teeth.
"Stop". Edward begged with a painful voice.
The smile on James his lips slowly began to grew even more.
Edward opened his eyes to look at me. His hungry eyes were pitch black. His lips pulled over his teeth into an awful grimace and he growled at me.
He ran over to me and before I knew it he had my arm in his hand and pulled it to his lips.
I was slowly starting to slip in unconscious and my eyes started to flutter.
Edward closed his eyes again. He was fighting. Fighting against the thirst. Fighting against himself. I knew who was going to lose. Edward knew who was going to lose and so did James. Edward's instinct would win and kill me.
"Just give it up Edward. You know who's going to win. She knows who's going to win and I know it. It's not your love for her who's going to win this battle. It's your instincts. Get it over with, Edward. It's so much easier that way". James said impatiently.
He grabbed my arm a little tighter and brought it closer to his mouth. His hands holding mine.
I had one chance. One chance to stop him. I prayed to everyone who was listening up there that it would work.
With my thumb I stroked Edward's hand and Edward stiffened.
"I love you, Edward". I whispered.
Edward looked at me. His eyes suddenly changing to a sweet and beautiful honey color.
He put my arm softly back on the floor again.
"Bella". He whispered.
He touched my cheek with the palm of his hand
I knew he had won. He was under control now and had won the battle with himself but for how long? I knew that one fast move could be too much for him.
I heard James growling next to us. His smile slowly disappearing from his face.
"Impossible". He hissed.
I was loosing to much blood and had trouble with keeping my eyes open when suddenly another window broke and two people and a wolf entered the room. Jacob! I thought. He's alive!
"Blood". I heard Carlisle murmur. "Esme, dear... get out of here".
I saw Esme nodding and run out of the house.
Jacob jumped on James and started to fight with him.
I felt my eyes close. My body felt numb.
"Carlisle..." I heard Edward sob. "I almost killed her".
"But you didn't, Edward. I'm proud of you son".
I heard a loud ripping sound and knew that or Jacob or James has lost the battle.
I had to know it.
"Edward... where's jacob?" I mumbled.
I felt something big and fluffy touching the sides of my good arm. It was Jacob.
I sighed in relieve.
"I can't take this". There was a whoosh and Edward was gone.
"Edward..." I mumbled while I fell into unconscious.
EPOV
"I can't take this". I said before running out of the house.
"Edward..." I heard Bella mumble softly.
Bella.
I can't believe this happened. I almost killed her. My Bella. My love. I'm a monster. This has got to stop. I considered the possibilities of removing myself from her live permanently. I have to go somewhere far far away from here.
And what about Bella?! My thoughts screamed. You can't just leave her! Yes I can... if it is best for her! but not without saying goodbye.
I didn't knew how long I had been gone when I ran back to the house and saw Carlisle and Esme. I acted like nothing was wrong.
"Where is Bella?" I asked, feeling concerned because she wasn't there.
"She's in the hospital". Carlisle answered suspiciously. He knew that something was wrong with me but I couldn't tell him. He would follow me. He would stop me.
What's wrong with you, son? Carlisle thought.
I just shook my head lightly.
"She made it... but just barely. They found out a new method... it's called blood transfusion. She gets the blood of other people because she hadn't had the strength to make new for herself in such a short time". Esme said.
"I have to talk to her".
"You can't, Edward. They know you there. You've been there two months ago..."
"Of course they don't remember me... I had looked so sick. I need to talk to her right now". I almost yelled at them.
"Edward". Carlisle warned.
"I'll be careful". I said while turning around and running to the woods.
"We're just going to let him go?" I heard Esme ask in confusion.
"Yes... he's got something on his mind and I need to know what it is... this is the only way". Carlisle said.
I couldn't hear them anymore because I was too far away.
Bella... I wonder it what condition I would see her. Was she a sleep? I caught myself hoping she would be a sleep so I wouldn't have to see her face when I told her this.
I stopped running at vampire speed when I saw the ending of the woods becoming closer.
I walked on the street and saw very few people.
I walked past Bella's house and heard something strange.
Someone was crying.
I walked to the back yard where the noise was the loudest. I pressed my ear against the wall and listened closely.
"My baby girl". I heard Renee cry.
"I'm sorry... there was nothing we could do for her". I stiffened.
She's dead. Bella is dead. Oh god. What have I done. I killed her. I killed Bella. Bella. My angel. Dead.
I hope you all liked this chapter. I know this is a bit short but I promise that my next chapter will be longer.
The next couple of chapters are going to be a bit like New Moon because Edward goes to the Volturi. Alice and Jasper will also show up in the next chapters.
Please review!
